NYC 2008: What's Swingin' at The Port Authority Building?

Another little picture recaplet from my recent NYC visit.

Whilst riding the World's Longest Cab Ride to Ground Zero, we swung past the Port Authority building over on the west side of the island. (As west as you possibly can get, since the river is on the other side of the building and New Jersey is on the other side of the river.)

I had my camera hanging out of the cab, when I saw an amazing sight! They apparently teach TRAPEZE lessons on the rooftop of the New York Port Authority. The building itself is four stories tall and these rigs are another two or three stories on top of that. You've got to have balls of steel to trying swinging from bar to bar, six stories up, on the western-most edge of the island. I was pretty impressed.

These are the three pictures that I took of someone on their trapeze lesson.

Enjoy.
